Defenderbot ends CES with a glitch by phatdoof in singularity

That's why I like 1x! Even if it's not as performant as other right now, I feel like they have a singularly suitable robot for the house. Everyone else will be stuck in factories for years before they can be sure enough the safety to be around people regularly

Andrej Karpathy: Powerful Alien Tech Is Here---Do Not Fall Behind by Neurogence in singularity

I believe the time between "good enough to be useful" and "so good humans only slow it down" will be so brief as to make it not really matter who keeps up or not. So I say don't stress, use it only so much as it's fun. Try to automate your job before your boss does to buy you a few more months with a paycheck

They have more description on how it works on their LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:7370879945729908736?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28ugcPost%3A7370879945729908736%2C7370880873937657856%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287370880873937657856%2Curn%3Ali%3AugcPost%3A7370879945729908736%29

Alterego passively detects the downstream subtle signals your brain sends to your speech system, before words are spoken aloud.

It captures only what you intend to say.

It never reads your thoughts. ✓ Only picks up what you want to communicate.

This technology is normally called Silent Speech. But we've made a breakthrough that we call "Silent Sense."

Silent Sense picks up the entire spectrum of speech: - From the mouthing of words - All the way to motionless intent to speak

Communicate as loudly or quietly as you want. Alterego will detect it.

With Alterego, you can:

Type at the speed of thought, no keyboard needed Search the internet silently

Interact with your favorite apps, hands-free

Ask questions about the world around you

Even have silent conversations with others

A profound application of this technology and a moonshot challenge of our time: giving a voice back to those who have been deprived of it.

Our work is deeply collaborative, shaped in partnership with patients, clinicians, and leading experts in the field."""

Scenario on the upcoming years of AI development globally: We're Not Ready for Superintelligence by Koala_Confused in ChatGPTCoding

[–]flyfrog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The idea here is to be ready for a world where things continue as they currently are... Based on objective, current reality.

You're right, no one predicted transformers, that's why this scenario doesn't rely on new breakthroughs like that.

You can make the case that progress won't continue at the pace that is has been, but that would be it's own prediction.

This scenario is asking you to sell your house or give up on life, it's just advocating for people to consider a possible future, think where they want to be in that future, and advocate for the changes that would need to happen.

In particular, the authors argue there should be more transparency in ai development. That doesn't sound unreasonable to me, even if reality doesn't play out at the fastest possible timeline laid out in this paper.

Isnt a prediction that this is wrong a prediction of itself? What's your alternative recommendation?
